How to Make Keto Mini Cheesecakes
To Make the Gluten Free Cheesecake Crust
Preheat oven to 350F.
Add the almond flour, butter, egg, Swerve confectioners and vanilla extract to the bowl of a food processor and mix until a dough is formed.
Turn the dough out onto a piece of parchment paper and divide into 16 equal parts.
Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten out into a round disk in your hands.
Press each part out into a standard size muffin or silicone muffin pan that has been sprayed with nonstick spray. Bake for 5 minutes, while you mix up the filling.
To Make the Keto Cheesecake Filling
Add the cream cheese to a large mixing bowl and whip it using a hand mixer (or stand mixer).
Add in one egg at a time and continue mixing.
Mix in the rest of the ingredients, until well combined.
Scoop the batter (it will be very loose) into the muffin cups over the crust and bake for 20-25 minutes.
There will still be a little jiggle to them, and you do not want to over bake these. Mine took exactly 20 minutes.
Allow to cool in the fridge for at least 1-2 hours, but if you're in a hurry, you can stick one in the freezer until it sets.

Are There Carbs in Raspberries?

Are Raspberries Keto?
They sure are! In fact, raspberries are one of the most recommended fruits on Keto because they're low in carbs and high in fiber.
Raspberries are rich in antioxidants and are a good source for potassium as well as other vitamins and minerals. To read about the health benefits of raspberries, check out this article.
Tips for Making Mini Keto Cheesecakes with Raspberry Sauce
- Always use full fat cream cheese. It's all about quality ingredients when you’re making a Keto cheesecake recipe. Low fat cream cheese has fillers that can cause a cheesecake to very easily flop. The more fat, the creamier the cheesecake will be.
- To prevent lumpy cheesecake bars, set the cream cheese out on the counter and allow it to come completely to room temperature before mixing.
- Don’t skip the sour cream. Not only does the tanginess of sour cream balance out the flavor of cream cheese, it helps add a smoother texture.
- Refrain from over mixing the batter. When you overmix the batter, air pockets will form, which will not only make your mini Keto cheesecakes look unattractive when bubbles rise to the top during baking, the added air can cause them the crack.
- Another way to prevent cracking is don’t over bake them. These low carb cheesecakes will still have a slight jiggle to them when they are done, but the edges will be set.
